To Make a Long Story Short ... Project Runway wraps, Caligula gets love, and more!

  • Former Liverpool and Sweden footballer speaks out against homophobia at Stockholm Pride, as well as his own touchy anti-gay incident.
  • Elton John wants the Interwebs shut down because they are destroying music. (Note: this website and my paycheck are in no way affiliated with Elton John)
  • Notorious art-porn Caligula gets a loving special edition DVD release, coming this October. Gay author Gore Vidal (who tried to disassociate himself from the final, penetration-embellished, Penthouse-produced product), Helen Mirren, Malcolm McDowell, and director Tinto Brass will all be featured in bonus materials.
  • Why I will always love Tim Gunn: (in discussing the recently-wrapped Project Runway season four) "I can tell you this with affording impunity: It is the most talented group of designers [yet], in terms of point of view and execution."
  • As was rumored last week and confirmed yesterday, Whoopi Goldberg has joined The View. Based entirely on my love for Jumpin' Jack Flash and the way she gave it to Perez, I celebrate this choice.

Whoopi Gunn Pride

What actually has this Swedish soccer player done for gay people that he gets to open the pride parade?

Tim Gunn said last season's batch of contestants were the best and the season turned out to be a bust.  I'm cautious.  Bravo is starting to run commericals for Tim Gunn's Guide to Style.  I love the commericals and am eager to see what the show will be like.

I think Whoopi is a good choice.  With that said she is no where near as entertaining or engaging as Rosie.  Rosie had a rapport and sincerity with the guests that can't be matched.

GREAT Graphic... Tied-y Tim?

Brian,

I whipped past that opening image of Tied-y Tim four or five times before I really stopped and looked. It's a hoot and a half. I gave you 4 stars just for that.

My other comment is in regard to Caligula. I've been curious for decades about whether Malcolm McDowell was wearing a prosthetic (ala Mark Wahlberg's Dirk Diggler) ehancement in a couple of the very late scenes in the movie where it looks as if there's an python trying to peek out from under his fashionable little cocktail chiton. Anybody know?
